someone should figure out how to make it so that if you drag and drop a file into an SSH session (like in putty), it automatically creates some kind of tunnel (over SFTP or something?) and transfers the file

@foone IIRC, kitty has something like that, although I haven't particularly dug into it.

@foone You don't necessarily need to reauthenticate. You can have your ssh connection reused by adding this sort of thing into your .ssh/config :

Host *
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/cm_socket/%r@%h:%p

Then, once you have one ssh going, the subsequent ones will not have to open a new link on their own; they can use the socket to talk to the already-running client, and tunnel their further ssh/scp/sftp activities through it.

@foone Also, Python has a reasonably useable ssh client library, paramiko.

@riley yep. I think I've even contributed to it
